Hi Ray,

Query 1:

You cannot bind the DataRow in GridCheckBoxColumn through XAML binding. However you can achieve your requirement for selecting the row based on the GridCheckBoxColumn by overriding the GridCheckBoxColumn renderer and customize the Selection Controller like below,

this.sfDataGrid.CellRenderers.Remove("CheckBox");

this.sfDataGrid.CellRenderers.Add("CheckBox", new CheckBoxSelection());

public static class CheckBoxHelper

    {

        public static bool IsChecked { get; set; }

        public static bool Value { get; set; }

    }

    public class CheckBoxSelection:GridCellCheckBoxRenderer

    {

        public CheckBoxSelection():base()

        { }

        protected override void OnWireEditUIElement(CheckBox uiElement)

        {

            base.OnWireEditUIElement(uiElement);

            uiElement.GotFocus += uiElement_GotFocus;

            uiElement.LostFocus += uiElement_LostFocus;

        }

        void uiElement_LostFocus(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

        {

            CheckBoxHelper.IsChecked = false;

        }

        void uiElement_GotFocus(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

        {

            CheckBoxHelper.IsChecked = true;

            CheckBoxHelper.Value = !(bool)((CheckBox)e.OriginalSource).IsChecked;

        }

    }

    public class RowSelectionController:GridSelectionController

    {

        public RowSelectionController(SfDataGrid dataGrid):base(dataGrid)

        { }

        protected override void ProcessPointerReleased(MouseButtonEventArgs args, RowColumnIndex rowColumnIndex)

        {

            if (!CheckBoxHelper.IsChecked || rowColumnIndex.ColumnIndex != 2)

                return;

            base.ProcessPointerReleased(args, rowColumnIndex);

        }

    }

Query 2:

 

You can bind the row data in converter inside the DataTemplateColumn like below,

<Syncfusion:GridTemplateColumn MappingName="EmployeeArea" Syncfusion:FocusManagerHelper.WantsKeyInput="True">

        <Syncfusion:GridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>

                <DataTemplate>

                    <TextBox Text="{Binding Path=., Converter={StaticResource converter}}"/>

                </DataTemplate>

      </Syncfusion:GridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>

 </Syncfusion:GridTemplateColumn>

public class CustomConverter:IValueConverter

    {

        public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)

        {

            var rowdata = value as BusinessObjects;

            return rowdata.EmployeeArea;

        }

        public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)

        {

            return 0;

        }

    }

I just want bind the row selection status to a checkbox in datagrid.......

[ray]

So , there is no easy way to bind the row selection to a DataGridCheckBoxColumn or a checkbox in template column?

Hi Ray,
We have analyzed your query and it is not possible to bind the row selection status to a CheckBox Column in SfDataGrid. Because each row we have bound to underlying business object, which is the behavior of SfDataGrid.
Please let us know further assistance on this.

Maybe we are misunderstanding. In WPF ,the original datagrid can bind the row selection like this .<DataGridCheckBoxColumn Binding="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=DataGridRow}, Path=IsSelected, Mode=OneWay}"  Header="IsSelected" />  I just want konw any way to do it with sfdatagrid.....
